Mount Morris Elementary School

Summary:

Mount Morris Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades PK-6 in Mount Morris, New York, which is part of the Mount Morris Central School District. While the school has increased its spending per student in recent years, it has consistently underperformed compared to state and local averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Mount Morris Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 16.67% compared to the state average of 42.6%, and its 3rd grade Math proficiency was 34.29% compared to the state average of 53.93%. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for female, male, white, English Language Learner, special education, and economically disadvantaged students. Despite increased spending, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking over the past 10 years, remaining in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Livonia Elementary School, Mount Morris Elementary School consistently underperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency across all grade levels. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Mount Morris Elementary School, ranging from 57.88% to 60.3% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students. However, the proximity of Mount Morris Elementary School to other districts presents opportunities for the school to collaborate and share best practices, potentially leading to improved outcomes for students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
